With Ricky
Burns ditching his WBO 130-pound title, Adrian Broner will now be fighting for
the vacant belt. Word is that Luis Cruz, the second-ranked challenger behind “The
Problem,” has turned down the bout and now, the fourth-ranked contender, Eloy
Perez, had taken himself out of the running because of a reluctance to go to
Broner's hometown of Cincinnati and because the family that manages Perez, the
Garcias- who are fine folks- had their daughter’s wedding scheduled for that
date.
Well, I was
informed that Perez’s camp has had had a change of heart and they are now more
than willing to postpone the wedding and go to the “Queen City.” I'm glad they
got their priorities straight. I mean, c'mon, title shots don't just come along
every day. Could you imagine the Petronellis telling Marvin Hagler, “Uh, yeah…Marv,
that title shot…we're gonna have to pass. Our niece is getting married that
same weekend.” When opportunity knocks, you answer the door.
Besides,
you can get hitched anytime. This here is for the ever-prestigious WBO strap. And
half those things end up in divorce, don't they? (I kid, I kid. Please save
your indignant emails.)
